Most hyped I've been after A game in a super long time. This Mathurin reminds me Of Dwayne Wade and this Is no exaggeration, he has some Jordanesque type qualities about Him. Benedict Mathurin could be A 30ppg scorer. I'm not even exaggerating. Mathurin is an absolute STAR. The knicks had Quickley, Reddish and Toppin in there and Nembhardt and Mathurin outclassed all 3 of them. Little payback to Toppin from that showboating Friday night. Nembhardt is an absolute stud. Mathurin is A for real NBA STAR. If the Pacers legit want to win I think Mathurin can mimic what Oladipo did in 2018 and possibly make playoffs. I honestly believe that. I just think losing is the goal this though I never agree with that. Mathurin is A STAR
I had to edit this. I didn't mean Mathurin could average 30 ppg THIS year. I'm just saying inevitably. Mathurin could be A future 30 ppg NBA scorer no doubt about it
Good show Tony
NY's 110 million dollars investment has not been looking so good thus far.
Mathurin's windmill was like watching Green punch Poole
Tony, I wish you'd go full Youtuber and put neon lights in the background and start using ultra HD 8k camera with jump cuts and key frames
Mathurin has got me so excited 🎉. If we execute this tank year right I think we could have a team that can compete for titles.
nembhard revelation, Mathurin future all star
Exciting to watch these young guys compete & find a way to win even if preseason—wouldn’t have happened without some Goga time—but I’ll temper my excitement until I see what they do Friday against the Rockets excitingly talented team—hopefully it will be a fun run & gun game & not lopsided to their favor🏀
I hope Nembhard can get consistent minutes this season.
The Canadian kids are gonna save us with Benedict and Andrew which works for me oh and Brisett I believe as well.
The talent level difference between Duarte and Mathurin is astounding. I’m not disparaging Duarte, but he’s shown me he’s a system player while Mathurin has the potential to be a game breaker.
On a couple of occasions last night Duarte had some defensive lapses. I don’t know if it was a switching issue on the perimeter or what.
J Smith looked amazing in his short minutes.
Turner’s paint presence seems to be a little lacking in the preseason and I’m wondering if it’s the defensive scheme? They played much of last season without him so is he having to make an adjustment?
Great to see the young guys shine. Hope it continues through the season
This kid is going to make the media respect us finally
Honestly great to finally find someone who covers Pacers content. I'm not even a Pacers fan but am really enjoying watching the young core
Bennedict Mathurin is a Star ⭐🔥
Bennedict Mathurin is a great 2 way player he's a defensive pest and a scorer, I love his game.
